Sunday, July 26, 2026 – The Ninth Sunday After Pentecost
Theme for the Day: The Value Keeps Going Up!
Season Theme: Sharing Gentle Breezes In The Grace Of Jesus Christ
Readings: Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52
What is truly valuable? What is worth holding onto no matter what?
In this week's Gospel, Jesus shares several parables about the Kingdom of Heaven, including the treasure hidden in a field and the pearl of great value. Using things people treasured in everyday life, Jesus reveals something even greater: the priceless value of God's kingdom and God's grace.
The treasure and the pearl are worth everything because they point us to the love of God in Christ. This love is not meant to be merely one important part of our lives. It is meant to be everything to us. It is the gift that transforms how we see ourselves, our neighbors, and the world around us.
As we celebrate Vacation Bible School Week, we also celebrate the seeds of faith planted throughout the week in the lives of children, families, volunteers, and our congregation. Through every song, lesson, craft, and act of kindness, God's kingdom has been made known in fresh and joyful ways.
As the gentle breeze of the Holy Spirit continues to move among us, we are reminded of another amazing truth: God places priceless value on each and every one of us. We are loved, treasured, and claimed by grace.
